Profile

St. Marks Church – Crown Heights
Brooklyn, NY September 2000

Until recently, I was a criminal lawyer in Manhattan and part-time professional photographer. But since September 2010 I have no longer practiced law but have instead spent my time pursuing my passion for candid, portrait and documentary photography that captures fleeting moments and reveals the emotion of my subjects.I am the primary photographer for the Chapin School in Manhattan. I’ve photographed in New York and other locations in the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia. I’ve shot at schools,synagogues, churches and law firms and in my wanderings have photographed sports, drama and dance as well as landscapes and both indoor and outdoor architecture.
